F'ing magnets, how do they work!?

Press release...



Quote
With the arrival of the new Multistrada 1200, Ducati will reach a significant milestone in the company's engineering history by extending the periods between major services on the new model to an owner-friendly 15,000 miles.

Doubling the mileage between valve clearance inspection has been made possible with the introduction of a new valve seat material combined with improved combustion efficiency and temperature management designed into the Multistrada's new Testastretta 11° engine.

So called because of its minimised 11° of 'valve overlap' - the interval of crankshaft rotation during which both the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time - the new Desmodromic power plant not only transforms the world championship-winning 1198 configuration into a super-smooth 150hp motor for sport touring, but also improves fuel efficiency, emissions and cost of scheduled maintenance.

First revealed at the Milan International Motorcycle Show in November 2009, the Ducati Multistrada 1200 combines innovative design and unprecedented technology to unleash a four-bikes-in-one concept. Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro riding modes now enable a customisable riding experience separated by just one click.

Arriving in Ducati showrooms from early 2010, the 189kg (417lb) Multistrada 1200 is offered with optional ABS, while the flagship Multistrada 1200 S presents ABS and Ducati Electronic Suspension by Öhlins as standard equipment. The 1200 S is available in 'Sport edition' with specific components in carbon fibre or 'Touring edition' with side luggage, heated grips and centre stand.

A long list of pre-orders for the Italian manufacturer's latest masterpiece reflects the massive interest generated since its official unveiling, an interest now further enhanced by the added benefit of more 'strada' between major services.

This bike should be the best SPORT touring bike on the market.  Finally, an ST bike that's actually built for fun and not some bloated poser.  

Way to go Ducati!  Clap

loved this thing at the show. Climbed all over it. Very nice (ok, other than the snout...dunno about that but in carbon fibre it looked ok). The guys there didnt mention 15k mile service intervals...THAT is hot news....if you want a sport tourer  and dont need big wind and weather protection this could be a blast...bring your check book as they aint cheap.

Wow, I said if they increased the maintenance schedule I'd buy one.
Now how am I going to come up with that much $?
Anyone want an 04 Multi with 38,000+ miles.................................. ....................................... ..................................?
 Headscratch hum, I didn't think so.
This is going to take some serious budget adjustment.  Lol

So, is this going to be for all 2010 bikes, or just the Multi?

Either way, this is really dangerous news for my wallet.

Or you could call it an sport-touring bike that actually sells instead of being a showroom anchor like the ST series.  Bigsmile

Hmmm.... 15k miles is something that sparks a little interest for me.

Nicely done Ducati.

Strange that they bill it as a Sport Touring bike and give it only a 20l (5.2 gal) fuel tank.  Thumbsdown What has happened to decent sized tanks?  Headscratch Kawasaki did the same stupid thing with their new Concours. I was actually sort of excited about this bike until I read that in the specs.  Sad
